His voice was so soft that Scarlett didn’t catch the words.

But whether she heard him or not didn’t matter to Damian anymore. He would do everything in his power to make her wishes come true, regardless.

The thought made a quiet smile touch his lips.

He lowered his head and began writing his own wish on the sheet of rice paper.

Seeing him start, Scarlett tilted her head, trying to sneak a peek at what he was writing. Damian immediately shielded the paper with his hand. “No peeking. If someone else sees your wish, it

won’t come true.”

His seriousness made Scarlett laugh softly. She shook her head. “I didn’t expect a grown man to be so superstitious.”

Damian jutted out his lower lip in a mock

pout. “That’s my business.”

Scarlett shifted, turning her body further away from him. “Fine. Then you don’t get to see mine either.”

Damian glanced at her. She had angled herself completely, and he genuinely couldn’t see the words forming on her page. It didn’t matter, though. What mattered was that she was participating, that she was here with him.

He looked back down and finished writing his own message.

“I wish for her happiness. I wish for her to let go of Vincent. I wish for her to be my wife.”

After writing, he carefully folded the paper and tucked it into the delicate frame of his wish lantern.

Nearby, Scarlett finished as well. She had just secured her note inside the lantern when Damian looked over.

Their eyes met. “I’m done,” she said.

Damian smiled. “Shall we go release them, then?”

Scarlett nodded. “Okay.”

She picked up her lantern, and together they walked to the water’s edge. They gently placed the lanterns on the slow–moving current and watched as they began to drift away, joining a others carrying flickering candlelight downstream.

Scarlett brought her hands together under her chin, closed her eyes, and made a silent wish. Please let it come true.

Damian watched her, momentarily mesmerized by the serene, earnest expression on her face illuminated by the distant lantern light.

He shook himself out of it and quickly pulled out his phone, sending a swift text to his assistant, “Retrieve the lantern now. The one with the blue trim.”

After seeing the confirmation reply, he slipped his phone back into his pocket.

Scarlett opened her eyes, the moment of quiet reflection over. She turned to Damian. “Where to next?”

Before he could answer, movement at the entrance of the lantern stall caught his eye. Two figures had just stepped under the low canopy.

It was Vincent and Sabrina.

The easy warmth vanished from Damian’s eyes in an instant.

Seeing his expression harden, Scarlett asked, confused, “What’s wrong?”

Damian realized she hadn’t noticed the newcomers. A mischievous, impulsive idea took hold.

Suddenly, he grabbed Scarlett’s hand and pressed it flat against his chest. He contorted his face into a grimace. “Baby, quick,” he said, his voice strained. “Check me. I feel this… tightness. Right here.”

He sounded convincingly pained, and Scarlett, caught off guard, switched immediately into professional mode.

Seeing his apparent distress, she moved closer to support him, her other hand instinctively slipping beneath the open collar of his shirt to feel his chest wall. As a doctor, propriety took a backseat to triage.

She palpated one area. “Pain here?”

Damian winced. “Yes. Sharp.”

She moved her fingers slightly. “What about here?”

He looked down at her, his expression still convincingly pained. “Yeah, that hurts too.”

Scarlett’s brow furrowed in clinical concern. “That’s unusual,” she murmured to herself. She applied gentle pressure lower, on his abdomen. “Any pain here?”
